Another Miracle Cure

I was on airplane flight the other day and the flight attendant said, “Did anyone lose this $100 bill?” Now that I have your attention, we have a few safety messages.

I was having a discussion with a friend about some health claim. I don’t remember the exact health claim. However, armed with a Master’s Degree, I have been so confused by nutritional claims my whole life. Often times ideas like coconut oil being good for you seems abundantly clear.

One could walk away from these claims thinking it is good for you. When the reality (from memory) is one studied that compared it to butter or lard. So what’s a little better than terrible? A little less terrible? However, the real science is telling us a much different story.

Thank you Dr. Greger. My resolve is to look under the covers of all sorts of health claims and see what research on humans tell us documented by someone without a direct financial benefit. Generally speaking, I am having a hard time arguing that vegetables, fruits, grains and beans are bad for you.
